Revivins tho Assault on Custer

Major Reno, who was tried by court
martial for cowardice and, narrowly les.
capcd conviction, il our memory serves
us, riues to remark that Custer was my
thing bat q bravo man, that he does not
deserve his reputation OF hard fighter,
that be has known Custer to about to his
men 10 follow him end then when the
fight waD on to be found in q place Of 80
curly. :
Major Reno doss himself a gres. wrong
to start his tongue to wagging in this way
aud AZ so late q day. Custer may not
have besn at all times tho most discreet
OF man. Perhapa tho action in which he
fell would better have been avoided unde.
all the circumstances. But rashness has
been eeen belors in bravo men.
Its too late in the day to rsvise the es.
tima!s Of Custer az c gallant soldier. The
verdict has been msdo up on the testi-
mony OF men who served under him, Of
brother %cllicsru and OF commanders who
had no rsason to s;vs him moro than he
deserved.
There are too many alive who fought
with tho young and brilliant soldier, for
Reno to orerturn the monument Saared
to his memory IN the hearts OF The men
who knew and loved him. Clusters place
IN his!ory is fixed. Rsno would be better
employed in looking after his own.

An Honest Man

When Judge Murphy adjourned
court for the noon recess yesterday a
young man stepped up to him and
whispered; Judge, l have found a
pocket-book containing $4,000; what
shall do with itP"
You're an honest man, replied the
Judge; stake the money down TO the
chief of police and when the owner
comes he will reward you"
The young man was taken by Asst.
Dist Atty. Kirk to the chiefs office.
There he said he had discovered the
owners address among the bills, and,
declining further assistance, started off,
Two hours later the finder of the
money returned TO Judge Murphy's
courtroom and reported that he had
found the owner of the money, A..
Janigg. in grocery store at the Mis-
sion. The sum was $500, not $4,000,
he said. and the owner had given him
s25 for his honesty. The young man
stated that his name was Alfred
Tradent, and that for seven years he
had been linguist, employed in the
department of the interior. He found
the portmanteau containing the money
on Market street near the Palace hotel.
Two years ago he found sl.7oo which
a naval officer had lost. When he dis
covered the owner and returned It he
was presented with = cigar. -Alta

RICH eITvMEN BED.
A Flaming Jet of Gas From a Hot
sulphur Springs.

sulphur SPhAhsos
A letter from San Luis, Obispo, Cal,
TO The San francisco Chronicle says:
The remarkable recent discoveries are
the result of an experimental boring
for oil. The abundance of asphaltum
in this country has long been mat
ter of notoriety, and its mining and
shipping to San Francisco has for many
years constituted large and profitable
business, some $500 tons being the an
nual product.
The existence of asphaltum intimatcd
the existence of petroleum. In the val
lev of San Luis creek, about two miles
from its entrance into the Bay of San
Luis Obispo, DR.. G. r. Nichols, the
owner of the land, observed some rock
appearing to contain asphaltum or oil,
and proposed boring on the spot.
Taking as associates in the enterprise
Judge Fred Adams, capitalist, and
All Walker, practical operator, the
project of boring was undertaken about
one year ogo.
At about six hundred feet in depth
the artesian anger entered body of
rock from which flowed a large volume
of sulphur-water accompanied by an
nnammable gas. The water has n
temperature of 80 degrees and flows
about thirty thousand barrels a day.
The gas, when confined in jet of four
inches in width and one-sixteenth in
thickness burns with flame two or
three feet high. The quantity of gas
flowing from the well has never. been
measured, but it is estimated by some
TO be more than double that used in
lighting the city of San Luis Obispo
The boring was continued until
depth of very near nine hundred feet
was reached, without any change, and
there it rests. This singular well, with
its fountain of hot sulphur water SUR
mounted by its waving plume of flame,
is situated in a very pleasant and ro-
mantle locality in valley threaded by
a pretty little stream and amid great
oak and sycamore trees, while between
il and the ocean is high hill, which
shelters 1t from the heavy sea breeze,
that is sometimes digagreeable. render
ing the climate always as genial and
lovely as the scenery is picturesque
and beautiful. To the general public,
or at least to the lover of the aesthetic,
il is deemed great good fortune that
no oil was found, as, instead, the local
ity has been turned into park, appro-
priately named Nichols park, bath
rooms and restaurants constructed,
swings suspended from the high branch
es of the trees. dancing floor laid,
and the beginning made Of what must
be the most attractive resort in the
state. Bathing in the water affords in
expressible delight The temperature
is perfect for the purpose, the water
health-glving and soft and in every
sense delicious. The resort is OF easy
access. as ON the opposite side of the
valley, few hundred yards distant, is
the Pacific Coast railway. and good
wagon roads lead to San Luis and TO
Pismo, either about five or six miles
away.
This is one of the great and singular
developments Of the year.
